Coconut oil turkey meatloaf

Turkey meatloaf is a healthier, leaner alternative to traditional meatloaf, and incorporating coconut oil adds a unique and delicious flavor while keeping the meat moist. This Coconut Oil Turkey Meatloaf recipe is simple to prepare and perfect for a nutritious family dinner.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp coconut oil
27g
3 garlic cloves
9g
1 cup onion
160g
1 lb ground turkey
450g
1/2 cup bread crumbs
55g
1 egg
44g
1/2 cup ketchup
120g
1/2 tsp black pepper
1.05g

Instructions:

2. Prepare the Sautéed Aromatics:
- In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and finely chopped onions to the skillet.
- Sauté until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Then remove from the heat.
3. Mix the Meatloaf:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, lightly beaten egg, half of the ketchup, black pepper, and the sautéed garlic and onions.
- Use your hands or a large spoon to mix the ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to overmix as it can make the meatloaf tough.
4. Form the Meatloaf:
- Lightly grease a loaf pan or baking sheet with the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil.
- Transfer the meatloaf mixture into the prepared pan and shape it into a loaf.
5. Top the Meatloaf:
- Spread the remaining ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
6. Bake the Meatloaf:
- Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
7. Rest and Serve:
- Once baked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
- Slice and serve warm.

Tips:

- For added moisture, consider adding finely grated vegetables like carrots or zucchini to the mixture.

- If you prefer a spicier meatloaf, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the mixture.

- Allow the meatloaf to rest for a few minutes after baking before slicing to help it set and make it easier to cut.

- For an even richer flavor, substitute half of the ketchup with barbecue sauce or your favorite tomato-based sauce.

- Using parchment paper in your loaf pan can make it easier to remove the meatloaf and reduce cleanup time.

This Coconut Oil Turkey Meatloaf is a delightful twist on a classic dish, offering a healthier and tasty option for those looking to reduce their red meat consumption. With its flavorful ingredients and simple preparation, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite. Enjoy your hearty and nutritious meal!
